Ghost Squad

During the gunfights, you're awarded with extra points if you take down a terrorist very quickly or any time you perform a head shot. Just be careful not to shoot hostages and civilians: when Ghost Squad gets really hectic, being too trigger-happy can be really dangerous (especially for these innocent victims of supposed-to-be-friendly fire). During the levels you'll also encounter branches where you will have to choose which way to go or which tactic to use. This is good, cause it gives the game a little bit more depth, raising its replay value.

The last thing we'd like to note is that sometimes special events occur during the level. In these cases, you have to follow the instructions that appear on screen and perform special tasks such as defusing bombs, sniping enemies and dispatching them with head shots, or taking down a heavy armored helicopter that's spewing bullets. In this last case, your weapon is a powerful rocket launcher that can lock onto the helicopter if you hover the crosshair over it for a few seconds.

After the time spent on it, we can say that Ghost Squad looks like a straightforward light gun shooter that should provide hours of accessible fun. Sure, the game is a bit old and shows its age, and the gameplay is super-simple, but if you're waiting to get the Zapper on day one, this game could prove to be a good accompaniment.
